European Social Survey - Rounds 9 and 10 UK National Coordinator

欧洲社会调查(ESS)是一项独特的跨国研究，自2002年以来一直试图衡量和解释欧洲不断变化的制度与其民众的态度、价值观和行为之间的关系。该调查每两年进行一次。每轮包含一套核心问题，涵盖一系列主题，包括媒体使用、社会信任、政治归属和参与、主观幸福感、社会排斥、宗教、歧视、国民身份、公民身份、移民和社会人口分类问题。每个模块都更详细地关注一个特定主题。纳入的主题是由ESS中央战略小组组织的学者之间的公开比赛选出的。学术团队提交他们的申请和他们的主题的理由，以及他们寻求衡量的细节，以及如何实现这一目标。第9轮的主题是社会中的正义和公平，以及生活的时机，它重复了前一轮中运行的模块。第10轮的议题尚未敲定。每个参与国都指定了一名国家协调员，其职责是监督该国家的ESS实施情况，并任命一个调查组织进行实地考察并准备数据。这项建议涉及国家协调员的作用。国家协调员的目标是监督环境安全战略在英国的实施情况，协调参与环境安全战略的不同小组之间的关系，并向分析员和其他有关方面，例如政府部门或第三部门，宣传环境安全战略数据。全国委员会必须确保在所有阶段，从样本设计到数据收集和最终数据集的准备工作，都是按照环境监测系统的高标准进行的，以便交付给环境监测系统档案。这些标准和要求在ESS主任和CST编制的ESS规范中列出。NC还必须同意对ESS调查问卷进行必要的调整，以确保其适合英国，同时确保满足ESS数据要求。此外，国家科学委员会还向国家科学技术委员会提供建议，参与有关问卷设计和社会支持方法的讨论，并参加每两年举行一次的国家科学委员会论坛会议。社会支持服务是一项备受瞩目和广受尊敬的社会调查，国家科学研究中心与该组织有着长期的联系。这可以追溯到最初的ESS，这是由SCPR(当时称为NatCen)的创始人罗杰·乔威尔教授推动的。在许多方面，ESS与英国社会态度调查(BSA)有许多相似之处，BSA是NatCen自己的态度调查。因此，我们赞同ESS的许多价值观和目标，特别是对严格方法的承诺，以及阐明普通民众的态度和意见的愿望。NATCEN承担了前八轮环境影响评估的协调工作以及2002年、2008年、2014年和2016年的实地调查工作。我们还在第六轮的同时进行了一项混合模式实验，采用面对面和在线数据收集相结合的方式。作为第8轮的一部分，我们还承担了克洛诺斯小组英国部分的招聘工作。

The European Social Survey (ESS) is a unique cross-national study which, since 2002, has sought to measure and explain the relationship between Europe's changing institutions and the attitudes, values and behaviours of its population.The survey is run biennially. Each Round contains a set of core set of questions, which cover a range of topics including media use, social trust, political affiliation and engagement, subjective well-being, social exclusion, religion, discrimination, national identity citizenship, immigration as well as socio-demographic classification questions.In addition, each Round contains two rotating question modules. Each module focuses on a particular topic in more detail. The topics for inclusion are selected by an open competition among academics organised by the ESS Central Strategic team. Academic teams submit their applications and justifications for their topics and details of what they seek to measure and how this will be achieved. The topics for Round 9 are Justice and Fairness in Society and Timing of Life, which repeats a module run in an earlier Round. The topics for Round 10 are yet to be finalised.Each participating country appoints a National Coordinator, whose role is to oversee the implementation of the ESS in that country and a survey organisation which undertakes the fieldwork and prepares the data. This proposal relates to the role of the National Coordinator.The aim of the National Coordinator (NC) is to oversee the implementation of the ESS in the UK, coordinating between the various different groups involved in ESS and promoting ESS data to analysts as well as other interested parties for example in government, or the third sector. The NC must ensure that the survey is conducted according to the high standards of the ESS at all stages, from sample design through to data collection and preparation of the final dataset for delivery to the ESS archive. These standards and requirements are set out in the ESS specifications prepared by the ESS Director and CST. The NC must also agree the necessary adjustments to the ESS questionnaire to ensure it is appropriate for the UK, whilst at the same time ensuring that the ESS data requirements are met. In addition, the NC provides advice to the CST and contributes to discussions about questionnaire design and the ESS methodology and attends the biannual NC Forum meetings.The ESS is a high-profile and widely respected social survey with which NatCen has a long association. This can be traced back to the original inception of the ESS, which was driven by Professor Roger Jowell, SCPR's (as NatCen was known then) founder. In many respects, the ESS shares a lot of similarities with British Social Attitudes (BSA), NatCen's own attitudinal survey. We therefore share many of the values and objectives of ESS, in particular a commitment to rigorous methodology and a desire to shed light on the attitudes and opinions of the general population. NatCen has undertaken the coordination of the first eight rounds of the ESS as well as the survey fieldwork in 2002, 2008, 2014 and 2016. We have also conducted a mixed mode experiment alongside Round 6 using a combination of face-to-face and online data collection. We also undertook the recruitment of the UK element of the CRONOS panel as part of Round 8.
